Don't fork off a new GIMPX project. GIMP uses a plug-in system to read/write files. You can easily write support for a new file format by creating a plug-in for it. Use any existing plug-in's source code as an example: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/plug-ins/common/ Plug-ins for PPM, TGA, RAW (raw data, not camera RAW photos), XPM, etc. are rather simple and can be a good foundation to start a new plug-in. http://developer.gimp.org/plug-ins.html > In fact, we would really only be interested in a very small subset > of all the image processing that GIMP can do.

If you don't need a GUI, you could also try using GEGL for image processing which will give you more precision. GEGL also supports plug-ins, which are called operations in its nomenclature. http://git.gnome.org/browse/gegl/tree/operations/external/ http://gegl.org/ Kind regards, Mukund _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list
